Nuclear Tech New Horizons

Nuclear Tech: New Horizons is a quest-driven modpack that reshapes HBM’s Nuclear Tech into a deep industrial and technology progression, with a questbook that teaches machines, processes, and materials to newcomers. Its progression spans primitive survival, alloy smelting, multiblock machinery, and oil processing through fission and fusion reactors, space travel, and endgame technology. Players build increasingly complex production lines, from presses and blast furnaces to gas centrifuges, chemical processing plants, and automated assembly lines, while managing power from coal and diesel through steam turbines, nuclear reactors, fusion, and dark matter. Chemistry is central to advancement: oil refining, uranium enrichment, and petrochemical processing feed into materials such as Schrabidium that must be bred or transmuted rather than mined naturally. Industrial work carries hazards, including radiation that can spread through chunks, kill plants, and persist, as well as flammable gases, illness from hazardous materials, and reactor meltdowns that make safety systems important. The pack also emphasizes survival combat and ordnance, with tougher mobs and bosses, craftable weapons and defenses, and survival-built missiles carrying explosives such as Gadget, Fat Man, thermonuclear, and Schrabidium warheads. Exploration includes dungeons, hidden lore, and boss encounters, while the questbook guides players without revealing secrets. Space is part of the endgame: multi-stage rockets reach orbital stations and planets with distinct atmospheres and bedrock ores, each presenting its own challenges and rewards. Designed for solo or cooperative play, the pack supports multiplayer and offers both a cooperative survival server and an anarchy server.
